Finally. The game with everyone’s favorite royal womanizer is available through the magic of digital distribution. Ubisoft Montreal’s Prince of Persia reboot can be downloaded via Impulse, Stardock’s digital download platform. It’s priced at a lean thirty bucks: a sweet tag for a game we lauded last holiday season.

The system requirements for Prince of Persia aren’t out of this world if you have a newer rig. You’ll need to be packing at least 2 GB of RAM ( Vista ), a decent video card and a total of 9 GB of hard drive space. Below the fold are the full requirements as listed by Impulse.

So, are any of you thinking about jumping on this? Prince of Persia has its share of faults: some platforming sections are spectacularly unexciting and the recycling of bosses can drain your life force. But it has its charms as well: it has gorgeous art and a great story. Holler back, people.
